Scorpio is console hardware pushed to a new level

I just read the entire article and, if you are a gamer, you should also. No matter the platform you play it sounds like "Project Scorpio" will deliver and deliver BIG!

The requirements are ridiclious yet, are being achieved. The hardware is flat out nuts but, already in place. This truly may be where I break my rule of NEVER buying a 1.0 product. After reading the article from one of the harshest critics of the XBOX line...well..sounds like even he was impressed.

From what I've seen so far, there is some evidence that Scorpio's true 4K performance could pose a challenge to the likes of Nvidia's GTX 1070 and AMD's Fury X-class hardware. I've seen Microsoft's new console running a Forza Motorsport 6-level experience locked to 4K60 on the equivalent to PC's ultra settings - cranking up the quality presets to obscene levels was one of the first things developer Turn 10 did when confronted with the sheer amount of headroom it had left after a straight Xbox One port. Out of interest, we tested Forza 6 Apex with similar settings at 4K on GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080. Frames were dropped on GTX 1060 (and a lot of them when wet weather conditions kicked in), while GTX 1070 held firm with only the most intense wet weather conditions causing performance dips. Only GTX 1080 held completely solid in all test cases. It's only one data point, and the extent to which the code is comparable at all is debatable, but it certainly doesn't harm Scorpio's credentials: Forza 6 Apex received plenty of praise for the quality of its PC port.
